[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 180312, member: 2323"] If its music you want and movies/music dvd's more occasionally, then I'll say optimize for stereo and simply live with the slightly reduced ht performance. Unfortunately you can't have your cake and eat it. :) ITO room size, I'd say make it pretty big. Avoid dimensions that are directly related like 6x12x3 high. Reasoning is that a wave length that resonates on the 3 will also resonate on the 6 and the 12. That will lead to peaks and nulls that is very hard to treat later. From what I gather, windows are not welcome in a proper sound room. This of course makes for a fairly detatched and sometimes even unfriendly listening environment. So if you decide to have widows, plan everything so that your system will at least 'see' a symetric room. That way you avoid skewing the soundstage, which can also end up being hard to correct with treatment. But seriously, I don't know much about these matters, so you're best off reading up a bit more. Good luck and enjoy! [/QUOTE]
